I just ordered Dominos because I’m a fat piece of sh—.  No regertz.

I can't believe they're letting Brown play LT and sitting Dawkins just because he didn't practice. Frustration is off the charts. We're going to lose.

Nothing surprises me with a Sean McDermott coached team.

 

Guy is a clown. Horrible coach.

Didn’t you say you were going to be positive this week? 😂

Cool. Who do you suggest we hire?

He may not be 100% and still feeling the effects from Covid, but well enough to play in an emergency.

Oh crap.

 

One of the posters here predicted this yesterday and everyone said he was nuts

I thought he will play and maybe still will. Brown practiced there all week though so maybe not rushing it 

[RiotAct]

why was Belichick talking to Fred Durst on the Pats sideline?

[Coach Tuesday]

If McD were a true historian of Buffalo Bills football he’d understand that sitting Dawkins to prove a point has a good chance of impairing his owners’ $250m investment.  That’s just how these “against the grain” decisions by Bills’ “braintrust” tend to break.

I hate changing starters at 3 positions because 1 is out.

Strategery....

Somebody in the news or discussion thread said they thought this would probably happen.

Bummer.

How exactly is he proving a point? This is conjecture and speculation.

 

We have no idea what the reasoning for the decision is.

Because he's...

What point would he be proving?

Really disappointed. Let’s hope it’s just a matter of easing Dawkins back in during the game.

***** McDermott. Guy is getting too involved with the offense.

LOL. The offense has been better the last 2 games. Particularly the red zone offense.

 

After McDermott "got too involved."

Guy is going to try and turn this into a defensive battle yet again today…. Expect more conservative 4th and short punts. 

Based on what Scott? Your feelings?

At least by halftime you probably won't care whether we're winning or losing

Or, hopefully, I'm going ape-s right along with you RR.

Watched the ESPN piece.  To summarize, MNF the other week was an instant classic, Rex thinks Sullivan is a Debbie Downer, and Mortensen reports that Beasley has been fined in the range of $100K for Covid violations this season.

Someone who hasn’t led their team to the playoffs 3 of 4 years, that’s for sure. Someone who didn’t make the AFC championship last year. Certainly, those qualifications mean nothing. 
 

Is sexy rexy available?

I would say based on history.

 

In big games, MCD definitely seems to get conservative IMO.

 

Think chiefs last year, Tampa this year etc
